for the love of god dont go into music unless you want to struggle for years in a thankless career that makes you little to know money with millions of competitors doing the same thing as you unless he can honestly say he cant see himself ever doing anything else

if i was him id rather save my money till i knew i would have work in onether town from were i was living in, i think he could make videos of him playing or even better if you had a studio were he could get some records copied and send to some people in LA to see if anybody was interested, it will be alot harder to survive when you are penniless in another town without anybody you know to take you in for awhile when you run out of money
